It sounds to me like the Homeland Security boys cut a deal with the Mexican gangs to either win their cooperation or to prevent a shooting war between the gangs and Border Agents.
Either way, it's fucked up. If they handled the border properly, they wouldn't have to make deals with Mexican gangs
It's a shame they didn't kill Aldrete-Davila.
I'd also suggest, Rene Sanchez who was born in the U.S., raised in Mexico, came back to do high school and later became an agent, should be assigned to the Canadian border.
It's high time to stop this wink-nod border condition.
